I really want to see camera tests for the phone by itself, compared to the phone with the dedicated camera. I do think that concept is BRILLIANT. I hope other companies copy it. I believe that's silly to spend another $900 for it though. I mean, although I'm a Canon guy, the Panasonic Lumix ZS99 is $700 and has 24mm to 720mm zoom. I'm not sure if this would be better or worse than that, but if I have to carry something so big, I want it to be the best. For my Vivo, the 400mm lens is rather easy to travel with. So I'd like something like that, but if this is TIP TOP performance.... take my money!

Imagine paying more for a DOA outside of China phone that has no access to Google Play Services or the Play Store meaning limited access to popular apps and services. Huawei is in no position to charge more for less.

Imagine calling anything a "DOA outside of China phone" and saying that "Huawei is in no position to charge more for less" when you use a DOA even in its home country phone that is known for being a Forever Beta and Buggy mess that can't even sell more phones than what you claim is a "DOA outside of China phone".


At least Huawei is still innovating and helping to push the smartphone forward, while what you use has downgraded hardware, doesn't sell well to begin with, thinks innovation is a flashing lights on the back of the phone, and the audacity of a higher price tag.

Complaining about other platforms, like the Pixels which has NOTHING to do with the article, while stanning and swallowing a massive $200 price hike on a DOA phone that still requires third-party workarounds just to run a basic, limited app store is peak delusion. Keep cheering for a domestic price-gouging machine that charges nearly $1,500 for a hardware-locked paperweight while pretending an ecosystem running on duct tape and side-loaded band-aids is leading the industry. Basically a temu iPhone without the functionality. 😏

Complaining about other platforms like Huawei's, which you've never used before, while being a hypocrite because you always bring up Huawei on Pixel articles when Huawei has NOTHING to do with those articles, while also stanning and swallowing a massive $100 price hike on a DOA Buggy and Beta phone that has downgraded hardware specs, no innovation, and yet still requires shady workarounds just to run basic functionalities is peak delusion. Keep cheering for a domestic price-gouging machine that charges too much for downgraded hardware, crappy software and is basically a paperweight due to the massive amount of bugs, while pretending an ecosystem which is actually running on duct tape and side-loaded band-aids. A temu iPhone without any functionality is better than what your preferred OEM offers. 😏
